Dear Professor,

In answer to your questions :

1. Eitingon (from what he told me himself) was in Vienna for the first time in late January 1907.
2. The’ "Freudian Association" must have held its first meeting in mid-year 1907. Myself, I made a presentation during one of the first meetings (on sexual trauma) which was published in November 1907; I had to decide by the end of summer.

3. It is difficult to answer the third question. When I arrived at Burghölzli in December 1904, it was already interested in psychoanalysis. This interest grew rapidly during the period following. For the period prior, Here what is safe :

1. "The occult phenomena" (1902) de Jung, in which your interpretation of dreams is cited (p. 102).
2. The analysis of Jung attempted on patient B. St., published in the appendix to the "psychology of dementia praecox".
3. Several studies conducted by the Association had already been published.
4. Hysteria was analyzed by Jung (in 1904, certainly).

I guess a very strong interest in psychoanalysis was born probably in 19o3, but perhaps only 1904.

I address my cordial greetings haste. Yours

Abraham.

Budapest, the 15 January 1914

Dear Professor,

I'm afraid not to be presentable for a visit on Sunday and not being able to enjoy your Sunday table, Saturday and Sunday because I will still have to undergo (in two steps) small interventions on my olfactory organ well abused. But I may be sufficiently recovered Sunday evening to chat with you a few hours. I think I will not undertake my return trip on Monday afternoon - a man quite well with, I hope.

My consulting work well. I am employed full-time. I just started (there three days) Analysis of a typical masochistic, a man of value, very intelligent (prosecutor), who came to me indirectly on your board. A lady (a young widow) who loves him and he would really love too, went one day you advice and you led me on the patient. (The lady was not aware that impotence, not masochism.)

It's funny how differently we hear the history of the disease and patients according to the complaint that was, or, informed in advance of the context. This is for us patient complaints as material dreams : you never know at first if they are to be taken in the positive or negative direction. Yet, it happens all too often tell patients that the opposite of what is true in the unconscious rather than part of the actual perception of themselves. If you know the structure of a neurosis, is separated from the first interview the chaff (perception of self-) from the chaff (reaction formation). If you are not yet educated, we tend not to believe the patient at all.

The masochistic patient begins his story with the fact that deep down he was never in love with women with whom he was engaged in masochistic manipulations. For example, the woman with whom he has now been more than ten years a relationship of this kind, it (sentimentally) quite foreign. It performs the act masochist (nates at oscula) * * as a duty officer, once a week " (ipsissima verba) **, and then a cumshot. But if a woman really loves, he can not even imagine the masochistic act with her - by cons, there is, en face d'elles (of these women), completely inhibited for intromission and ejaculation (not entirely for the erection). This is a striking confirmation of your theory of masochism, that the masochist is subject, precisely, the unloved person (to repel the threat of castration that it came from such a person). - You told me, at the time that, your experience, the masochistic homosexual was once threatened by the father, the masochist by heterosexual mothers But we can also imagine a case (Perhaps it is there a) where masochistic tendencies develop in respect of a certain type and powerlessness in relation to the other type of the same sex (when, for example, the boy met a friendly welcome with a wife and a cruel threat from another, it could, later, become impotent with women loving people, but develop against women like severe stress masochist).

The second dream of my patient brought an even stronger confirmation of your hypothesis (It goes without saying that I still give him absolutely no explanation, but I let him talk uninterrupted). He dreamed he was gone, recovered, the cure with me and my assistant and I had said that his case was unique; it was the first case was recognized as masochism (?). He does not remember the word in place of the question mark, there are two expressions which he does not remember. The first idea is : obligatio faciendi ***, second, easement!!. **** ². Therefore, two legal terms, whose second, particularly, which means both serfdom, submission, has hitherto been characteristic of masochism in this sense; but will, from now, also be interpreted in the sense of Roman law, namely as the duty to support the intervention of a third person on my property.

Dear Professor,

Is it possible that I could take cognizance of the letter Bjerre, which you spoke (must in all cases be held in generalities). I would refer you naturally soon. If you think this request intrusive, I apologize and considered null and void. I would still like to know where to place Bjerre, in particular with respect to Zurich. We do not fit ²⁶.

All these things, which are the subject of your current work, are particularly present in my mind and occupy more than one. This year will undoubtedly bring clarity and a fresh and joyous war!

With my most affectionate.

Your Lou Andreas.

Cher ami,

So we all agreed to Dresden. Our meeting was held on 14.

Your comments on the exhibition (at the instigation of your son) seem very relevant. I think it should go the same for all evil, and new perspectives are opened there, for therapy and understanding for our.

I am in the writing of the history of the psychoanalytic movement ¹. The text is very energetic and straightforward. I ask for your help, for the time being, the following :

a. Eitingon when he come home in Vienna for the first time?

b. When the Association Freudian Zürich she began her activity?

c. When the clinic began Bleuler interest in psychoanalysis?

With my greetings and heartfelt thanks, Your faithful

Cher Ami,

I am working furiously on the "History of psychoanalytic movement" and I also do a lot to further. So I beg you to accept without back- thinking purely practical information.

We all vote for Dresden. Jones writes about it today ; it's complicated and incomprehensible. But it does not account, dit-yl, since his group has not yet been approved (1).

I arrive probably not read the work Karpinska. Your approval is good enough. As Jahrbuch is complete, perhaps take us in the Zeitschrift?

If you come on Sunday 18, I hope that you will also have time for us. Usual arrangement. Do you want Lou to our table? Sincerely

your Freud

I currently working hard to Contribution to the history of the psychoanalytic movement²⁵ our Yearbook and I expect that my statements will end all indecision imposing separation desirable.

I had a letter from Bjerre, there a few days, in which he tries to hide our differences. I can not follow him on this ground.

With my most affectionate and begging you to send me soon the new direct, I

Dear Professor,

Abraham writes that he is Dresden. We should all agree on this. I think Jung wants to get the numerical majority with the help of America. I send you, enclosed, Article Polish. It is very good. The few critical remarks are also easy to refute, they arise from the lack of practical experience of the author. Maybe I should add a small postscript(1). But you can also publish this work uncritically.

I will not come to Vienna Sunday in fifteen (the 18).

Sincerely

Dear Professor Freud,

Abraham says that Jung was asked about the location of the next congress, I wonder if this is not the best time to suggest a dissolution of the association. The Berlin, Budapest and Vienna (London is not yet an official group, and we have not heard from Jung) combine in this application, Jung may be wary and keep Congress nilly, in the hope that we keep away. This would leave only master of the field, This should not happen if. Do not you think you could write him personally and offer, or a solution, whether, at least, an adjournment of the Congress this year, person who has authority or moral right a little bit similar to yours ? We could then refer the matter to a referendum in all groups, with individual vote, which would give us a good chance to win, because many undecided, comme Eder, vote in the sense of fear of repeating the painful farce of September.

Thank you very much for your encouraging letter which arrived this week. I work hard studying various issues in question, and I highly interesting materials. A case has made me realize more clearly than in the past significance of the castration complex in women, and its relation to the horror of blood and the humiliation of menstruation (Wake ideas childhood deprivation penis). It makes me think that the strange horror of menstruation as reflected in the folklore may be due, to a great extent, this complex in men; A typical example is the isolation of menstruating women who fear that their presence is a factor of impotence (symbolically, for example, not rotate milk, etc.).

I was chosen with McDougall, d’Oxford, to mediate a discussion on the Theory of Sexuality at a joint meeting of the British Psychological Society and the Psychiatric Section of the Royal Society of Medicine, the 10 March (1), as well as a discussion of ψα to the British Medical Association, the 30 July ⁽²⁾.

My clients spend all my expectations. I was eight patients per day, and I had to go to another this week Eder. Both pay 50 Kr. each, other 25 Kr. If things continue at this rate, and there is no reason why this is not the case, I can get married, which, I hope, will be my next step in life.

No doubt you received this week my two shipments ; the unfortunate Putnam, I am sorry for him.

About Loe, I guess the battle will be fought on the issue of morphine, because she chose this field : if it does not reserve morphine, she feels that its vessels are burned. I hope to have better news in your next letter ; she did not write from my visit to Vienna.

Have you decided to put your name to Moses ? Definitely !

Yours

Jones.

Dear Professor

Since my nose job, I was pretty well. Here, I had a brief relapse respiratory, which have now disappeared, so that I can now hope to regain my normal working capacity, although we can not exclude the possibility that other repairs (smaller) on the nasal turbinates are necessary. It is possible that I am obliged to pass this Sunday or next to Vienna (and, and yet only, nose for stories).

I had a brief meeting with the members of the Association on

Jung's letter and we decided to propose Dresden. But I do not want to answer Jung after receiving your proposal on this, because we want to be in unison Vienna, Berlin and London.

Consultations increased, new patients also occur from time to time, which had not been the case for months.

For the Jahrbuch, I want to develop a theme that concerns me. However, symbolism does not lend itself – it is not yet ripe, as you rightly note. In reports to the Jahrbuch, I was given the general theory of the neuroses a good subject, but difficult.

Reading test on laughter Bergson was an opportunity for me to reflect on the general laughter. I think I found a supplement, significant, your point of view on laughter, developed in "Jokes" * ².

Here is a similar complement your explanation of rescue fantasy (as compensation for the birth)³ : children who struggle with oedipal fantasy (aggression against the father, sex assault.[ow] sad.[ique] against the mother) feel inhibited in these fantasies by feelings of gratitude. To engage in more reckless Oedipal fantasy, it would eliminate the feeling of the world being-forced-to-the-gratitude by saving, also, the lives of his parents to be "even" with them (4).

Sincerely

Your Ferenczi

Cher Ami,

You will probably receive our honorable president's invitation to rule on the place of the next congress. This is incor-rect again, as another decision was made at the Congress What do you do? Do not give any response until you have consulted with us, Berlin and London. Rank you write more.

Jones sent a letter today from Putnam in which he informs us that his youngest daughter 17 years old (not Griselda) died of diabetes.

He says, other, we have known as a child ², in 1909. But I can absolutely not remember. It would be interesting to know whether, you, You can.
